Since we presented, at the 22nd Space Utilization Symposium in 2004, a proposal that the study of sexuality, particularly reproduction is an important factor to construct an ideal human society in the space environment, we have investigated, as the first step, the effect of gravity on the fetus and found that the intrauterine fetus of 12 to 15 weeks gestation age takes often an independent posture of movement of the mother, suggesting gravity does not seriously affect the early development of the fetus. In this article we discuss some problems about the breast feeding after birth under microgravity or small gravity in a space environment. We believe that it is not too early to discuss and investigate scientifically and systematically the feeding behavior of human in the space environment.
